NAICS 111991 – Sugar Beet Farming encompasses the cultivation of sugar beets for the production of raw sugar, animal feed, and other agro-industrial byproducts. This sector involves specialized agronomic practices including soil preparation, precision planting, pest and disease management, and mechanized harvesting using specialized equipment tailored to root crop production. While primarily a commercial agricultural activity, sugar beet farming intersects with federal procurement through USDA-funded research initiatives, conservation programs under the Farm Bill, and supply chain resilience efforts tied to domestic sugar production security. Government contracts in this space typically support agricultural research, environmental compliance, water management, and rural economic development rather than direct commodity procurement. No contractor data is available for this NAICS code, indicating limited direct contracting activity by private firms under this classification. When contracts do occur, they are typically awarded to agricultural research institutions, cooperative extension services, or small businesses specializing in precision agriculture technologies or soil health analytics rather than traditional farming operations. No agency data is available, suggesting federal spending in this sector is decentralized and embedded within broader agricultural support programs rather than centralized procurement. Primary interest likely stems from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, particularly through the Agricultural Research Service and Natural Resources Conservation Service, which fund studies on crop yield optimization, sustainable irrigation, and soil conservation practices relevant to sugar beet production. The competitive landscape is sparse, with low opportunity density for traditional government contractors. Opportunities are concentrated in research partnerships, technical assistance contracts, and environmental compliance services rather than direct farming contracts. Trends indicate growing federal interest in domestic food security and sustainable crop systems, creating potential for niche contractors in ag-tech, data-driven farming, and climate-resilient agriculture solutions.

Small Business Size Standard

The SBA threshold that decides who can bid NAICS 111991 work as a small business.

$2.5M
Applies to the whole industry code

The SBA cap for this NAICS (13 CFR 121.201). A business at or under it can self-certify as small for work in this code, which is what makes it eligible for a small-business set-aside. The cap is set per NAICS, so the same company can be small in one code and not in another.

13 CFR 121.201, effective January 1, 2026. The SBA revises the table roughly once a year.

Competition

How many companies historically bid on federal awards in NAICS 111991, from bidder counts reported on USAspending.

Bidder counts reported on past federal awards in this NAICS (USAspending). An open opportunity has no bidders yet, so this is the historical norm for similar work, not a fact about this solicitation. Not all awards report bidder counts, and fewer bidders often means incumbent-held work rather than an easier win. Federal reporting of bidder counts fell from ~96% of awards (FY2016) to ~30% (FY2018 onward); the chart shows shares of reported awards, and washed-out stretches mark years with fewer than 30 of them.
